Unprintable characters with --enable-charset

I want to continue discussion about displaying unprintable
characters.
The problem has arised when I tried to use new experimental
feature "Support for charset selection and
conversion" (--enable-charset). I set c_y_r_i_l_l_i_c input encodings
and decided to view any binary file. After few strokes on PgDn MC screen
was completely crashed and I saw invitation to search strange regex.
In case of not cyrillic ISO encodings I have not noticed such a strange
behaviour. I think this is happened because of wrong
is_printable() function or furthermore incorrect printable[] initalization
in charset.c .
My decision to this problem isn't very nice but effective
